We had such a refreshing weekend! Our Shabbat service on Friday was beautiful and Saturday was very relaxing. Today we had a lecture with Dr. Waddell for the first part of the morning. Then we had another lecture with a guess speaker, Peter Tsukhira, after that. He spoke about the prophetic significance of Israel. I thought it was really cool to make all the parallels we have read in the Bible and see that many have actually come true! He emphasized the importance of having the revelation of God, to go along with the prophecy.
This afternoon we visited Christ Church and the small museum right next door. The lady speaking to us was so precious and sincere! She was very passionate about Israel and talked a lot about how Christianity has Jewish roots of faith. It was interesting to walk around and see a little of the history of Israel. Unfortunately there was a wedding going on so we couldn’t actually go inside the church.
We took the long way around the Old City to get back to our campus. We split up with a little free time before dinner, so a few of us went shopping. I saw a bunch of cameras and joked around with Mandy that I wanted to be interviewed. Approximately ten minutes later a Japanese man approached me and asked if he could interview me for his documentary. How ironic is that? Suddenly I had about five cameras surrounding me and they were interviewing me questions about my faith and myself. It was so much fun! Tonight we had dessert at Coffeebean and talked about life and relationships with a small group. Wonderful ending to a pretty chill day.
